Here's an Idea

Just throwing this out there for discussion, but what about Anniversary Gifts for 10C members? I'm not talking about every year, just like 5, 10, 15, etc. Some of us have been on here a VERY long time and some of us WILL be in here a very long time. With the rising cost of memberships and some people's dissatisfaction with that (I'm not really one of them but then again this is just an idea), along with the insane amount of money most of us spend on tickets, merch, etc. is this really an unreasonable request? I'm not talking about something outlandish, just some cool collectible for years served. You know, start out simple with something like a 5 year Ames designed shirt or print or something and gradually progress to bigger and better things like maybe a backstage pass or for 20 years served, etc. Or you could do like a paperweight for 5 years, a tie tack for 10, cufflinks for 15, a watch for 20, etc. Just an idea. Any thoughts

    I like the gift idea, but we are not all men. You need to think of gender neutral items.

    dually noted. I wasn't making specific suggestions just throwing out ideas off the top of my head. Didn't mean to slight the lovely ladies of the 10C

    I always thought something like: if you spend X amount in the goods section your earn X amount of Ten Club cash.
